Energy Transfer (EnT)-Mediated 2+2 Photocycloadditions

Key Points

This research aims to explore the feasibility of [2+2] photocycloadditions of alkenes using energy transfer mediated by visible light.
Utilized triplet energy transfer to effectuate cycloadditions under visible light conditions.
Compared traditional UV irradiation methods with visible light approaches.
Achieved successful [2+2] photocycloadditions without the need for high-energy UV irradiation.
Demonstrated milder reaction conditions with better control over product formation.

Abstract

The 2+2 cycloaddition of alkenes is thermally-forbidden and traditionally achieved through high-energy UV irradiation. However, recent advances in triplet energy transfer (EnT) enable these cycloadditions under visible light, offering mild,...
